Why I created this bag
I’m Charlotte, mum to three and the founder of MAESIX. This bag started as something I needed myself. A way to stay organised without giving up my own style. Between school runs, coffee stops, and weekends out with the kids, I wanted one bag that could handle it all. Every pocket, zipper, and compartment has a purpose: to make life with the kids just that bit easier

I love this bag. It’s become my everyday family essential—practical enough to fit everything I need for the kids, while still looking great. Highly recommend!
LOVE!
Fits everything, food, nappies and bottles! Wouldn't go back to my old bag. Comfortable to hold and straps dont feel like they are going to break even though you can put ao much in it.
Love this bag is the perfect mum bag! You know it's deffenatly designed by a mum. It's huge with so many pockets can carry everything I need but it's so comfortable to carry.
Can't recommend enough, I love love love it!
My husband now loves it!
Before I bought this bag I showed my husband and said “look how amazing this bag is!”, typically he wasn’t interested and told me I didn’t need it. I bought it anyway! Now, on holiday, we’re using the bag all day, everyday. Now that same unenthusiastic man said… and I quote… “this bag is actually incredible, what a good buy!”
Name a better mum/dad/family bag…. You actually can’t!
À roomy bag with a place for everything. Love the inbuilt cool section for carrying insulin.
It feels really strong and well made.
Comfy straps and good strong zip.
Brilliant.
I just LOVE this bag! Toddler mum of 3 with 1 on the way and I needed something super spacious that holds it all.. I was looking for a while and I'm SO happy I found this one!! It's great quality and came packaged so well in the mail. Thanks Charlotte, you're amazing 🤩
Absolutely love my bag! It’s everything and more! Believe the hype! This bag is worth it! As a first time mum, I tried out a lot of bags and spend a lot of money, I wish this bag was available 2 years ago.
OMG this is the bag I never knew I needed! Especially the insulated pocket is so smart. My daughter is a picky eater and now all the fruits and snacks are still cold when I bring them out. Also the wet pocket, I would have never thought about it but it is genius! I also just really like how it looks, I take this bag with me even when I am just going to work without kids :)
Our family absolutely loves to travel, but if you’ve travelled with kids you know how quickly bags can turn into complete chaos 😅
Before our last big trip I bought the Maesix Family Travel Bag and honestly… it was a total game changer for us.
Everything had its own place from matchbox cars and water bottles to snacks, iPads and headphones. Instead of rummaging through bags trying to find things mid-flight, I knew exactly where everything was. Even better, the kids quickly learned where their things were too.
It made travelling feel so much calmer and more organised, which as a mum is honestly priceless.
If you travel with kids this bag is an essential!
Great bag for little ones, if you need to pack everything/ ie. traveling etc. It's huge and has loads of compartments, which i love, but it lacks structure, which I find annoying. The bag itself isn't rigid, which is great, but if it's open (unzipped)it sprawls out, and that makes it hard to locate things and then close it again. some removable structured inserts for the side walls or similar, would be super helpful for keeping the bag upright, especially when it is being held on a carry-on suitcase. Also the drink bottle pockets, while large enough for a 1L insulated drink bottle, don't have any elastic or drawstring to keep the bottle upright/in place, so other things tend to fall into it and stop you from being able to put your drink bottle in/out in a hurry, which is also annoying personally. The long adjustable shoulder strap has no padding, so it's pretty uncomfortable to use for a long time when its adequatly packed; so a removable shoulder strap would be a great addition also.
I'm being picky and comparing it to my other similar bags, but for the price point, I would expect these things at a minimum. Overall, a good bag, but could be better/improved.
This bag has all the pockets and little sections I need to pack for a 2.5yo and a 9mo - nappies, wipes, snacks, drink bottles, toys and spare clothes. Love that the large section of the bag zips closed with ease, even when full as this is an issue I’ve had with other bags. Thanks for designing something that actually works for the crazy amount of packing required for a short trip out of the house!
I am an elementary school teacher and have bought so many bags looking for the right bag to hold my laptop, papers, lunch, cups, and wallet. This bag finally fits the bill! I only got to use it for the last month of school but I plan to use it next school year and am contemplating getting another one in the cream so I can have options.
This bag is amazing! I can take it to travel, the park, the pool, literally anywhere. Ive got two kids and its perfect. I cannot believe how much it holds!
This bag is significant, but honestly it doesn’t feel so heavy even fully packed! It fits perfectly under an airplane seat and gave me quick access to everything I needed. Now it’s my fully stocked back I keep in the car, but will something I will continue to use because of the insulated side compartment and room! Will be great to grow with the kids.
The bag has been so thoughtfully designed to accommodate all the bits and pieces I need, for a day in the office, weekend sports or just a general day out.
Perfect,
Fits everything and very comfortable to carry. My fav purchase for my little one. Can’t wait to use it when we fly, going to be a game changer.
I really like the bag. Lots of pockets, plenty of space for 2 under 2, and still fits under our double stroller. My only downside is some of the sewing shows fraying or has excess strings, but otherwise the quality is great.
I absolutely LOVE this bag!!! I have been searching for a bag that has everything I need and this one has exceeded my expectations. It has been my everyday teacher work bag. I have also used it for traveling and it fits all of my pouches. I have used it for my tournament weekends and its fits all snacks, water bottles and even my collapsible stools!!! The wet pouch sections have even come in handy when I had to throw a wet bathing suit in it!! I highly recommend this bag to anyone who needs pockets, space, style and comfort!
I use this as a work bag! Perfect for holding my lunch for the day, my wallet, a protein shake and my water! Also carries all of my files and laptop! Love it!!
I love this bag for days when I have both children (baby and preschooler) and we are heading out. I can fit and organise everything into one bag for all of us.
Fits all we need for my family of three girls. It’s larger than my usual bag so I don’t use it every day but love that it keeps everything organised and easy to find. Perfect for travel and long car trips and day outings
Love the insulated pocket! My daughter’s purées were able to stay chilled along with her teethers during our 4 hour train ride and that was such a help to not have to bring an extra bag! Also if you have a baby you know that waterproof pocket is a must as well!
A great bag for 2 or more kids, super capacious (but bulky) with lots of pockets for organised storage.
2 areas for improvement - the insulated bottle holders are ginormous and would only be snug against a huge bottle, and it would be nice to have a strap connector to hold the 2 tote straps together so one doesn’t slide off your shoulder when in tote mode, not cross body carry mode
Great size and colour- love all the different pockets - great for easy organisation, heaps of room for all the extra things my teenage kids need when travelling
A big hit
Love this bag. I’ve already used the insulated pocket more than I thought I would. It’s so nice being able to throw my lunch in there, or snacks for the kids, and go. My only wish was that there were some more external pockets. But there are so many pockets, it’s certainly not lacking.
This is a well made bag. It is BIG. Purchased for auntie duty this summer and it will work well. Tons of well placed, well sewn pockets so things can be very organized. Nice material.
Two recos for a future version of this bag - would be nice to be able to reduce the size (for flights with airline size requirements) with a strap or snaps so it can be smaller as well as full size. Second reco would be to gusset the insulated size - I tossed a large ice pack into the insulated size and wanted to pack two sandwiches that came in boxes and it was hard to get all three items to fit.
This bag is amazing! I honestly can’t recommend it enough! I love it so much, that I bought it in black as well lol.
The family bag is well crafted with great quality materials and fits SO much, while keeping everything organized. I have 3 boys, ranging from 4 months to 6 years old and I’ve gone from having to juggle multiple bags when going out, to needing just this bag for all of our things. The cooler and wet/dry pockets are genius!
While I would prefer not to carry so much stuff, reality is we need to take it all and this bag helps pack it in there now that we have two kids.
It's a bit big to wear for too long, but great in the car or under the pram. Well made. Glad I got it!
Absolutely love this bag. I have a 2yr old and just recently have had twin boys and this bag fits everything we need. From the poo explosions to the mid morning snack attacks to all the extra outfits we need for a day out.
It fits it all and more!
Will 100% be recommending this to friends!
